Funeral of Joseph HI. Leeds, Son of
Pulaski Leeds. in Louisville, Ky.
"A Touching Incident-Mr. Leeds
Many BereaVements.
The large circle of warm friends in this
city and State of Pulaski Leeds of Louisville,
KY, formerly of New Haven, will be sorry
to learn that he has been again bereaved,
having now been called to bury his son.
Before leaving this city nine years ago he
buried his first wife and child, and last year
the angel of death summoned two of his
children, they dying of scarlet fever; and
now another child is taken. Mr.. Leeds when
here was fora number of years master mechanic
of the Air Line railroad and going South
became master mechanic of the Indianapolis,
Decatur and Springfield railroad, assisting in
the supervising the completion of the build
ing of that road and experimenting the cree
ton of it's framed model machine shops. On
the absorption of the road into the Gould
Wabash system, Mr.. Leeds took his present
place as master mechanic of the Louisville
and Nashville road, $500 mile road. The
Louisville Courier Journal gives the follow
ing account of the funeral of Mr.. Leeds son:
The funeral of Joseph Harris Leeds, son of
MIR. Pulaski Leeds, master mechanic of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad shops, took
place yesterday morning from the parents
residence, 1,134 Eighth street. The burial
was at Cave Hill cemetery. The little fellow
was but seven years and eight months of age,
and died on Friday morning of infammatory
rheumatism and enlargement of the heart.
The funeral was an unusually large one,
the attendance numbering fully five hun
dred. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
giueers and Firemen and all the workmen of
the machine shops attended in a body, the
shops being closed in commemoration of the
occasion. The pallbearers were selected
from the ranks of the bereaved fathers
comrades in the workshops. The floral offer
ings were very numerous and tasteful,
more than 800 worth being purchased of one
firm by the men in the shops under charge
of Mr.. Leeds. The employees of the road
yesterday adopted resolutions expressing
warm sympathy and coincidence for Mr..
Leeds and family and referring to his uni
form kindness in his associations with those
employed under him. The spontaneous ex-
preston of good feeling evinced by their ac-
tions is indication of the high esteem in
which he is held, and testimonial to the
fair treatment always extended by Mr.. Leeds
to those whose daily work he supervises

her fidelity was well-founded. Indeed
there was good degree of honest pride
in her tone when she told me she should
do her best and then fondly kissed me.
We were away from home for six weeks
In the Office my business manager and his
assistants kept matters straight and
prosperous, as their frequent reports
plainly indicated, At home, Minnie, as
shown in her weekly letters, held the
domestics and tradesmen in proper sub

At first, she merely wrote that George
reported collections failure. Six days
further on, che said that as vet he had

for non collections. A week later she ex

ing the usual unsatisfactory results she

him as "shiftless fellow unfit for bust

assist" in some popular amusement. In
the last of her letters she never mention
ed him. l knew, from her silence. that
she was thoroughly tired of him, and that
my plan of proceedings had triumphed
even over her affection for him.
On our return, everything having
ing prospered in my business and domes-
tic affairs during our absence, we re-
celved hearty welcome home from the
dear girl, whose love for us indeed seemed
boundless, and far more ardent than at
our departure. There was so much of
interest TO tell of this, and of that, and
of the other, that had happened while
we were gone, and which could not be
